Loved the song, heard it on a local oldies station.

Rascal Flats did a cover version for some Disney movie.

I don't know if this is urban legend, but someone said to Ray Davies of The Kinks, that was a great version of "You Really Got Me", by Van Halen.

Sometimes, recuts are bad; other times recuts become bigger successes than the original. Some examples:

Whitney Houston recutting Dolly Parton’s “I will always love you”.

Kenny Rogers recutting Lionel Richie’s “Lady”.

And of course, the recut Rascal Flats did of this song for the Disney Movie, “Cars”.

I drove a used Chevy Caprice in 1977. It was the size car I was used to driving. Fun to drive in ND winter.

1976 was the last year for the YUUGGE full size GM cars, except for the Eldorado which was downsized in 79. As big as my 64 Impala it would be like a golf cart compared to my uncle’s first Caddy, a 1970 Coupe DeVille

Saw Tom open for The Smithereens a long time ago.

Did a ripping version of “Lunatic Fringe” with his band.
